The digital divide is the gap between those with access to computers/tablets and the internet and those without. The ACP is a U.S. government program run by the Federal Communications Commission and funded by USAC to help low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices like laptops or tablets. The program helps ensure families can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare and more, as there is never a monthly fee and it is not based on credit.
“For over 50 years, Gulfstream Goodwill Industries has been at the forefront of providing employment, training and housing opportunities in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee Counties,” said President and CEO Keith Kennedy. “Bridging the technological divide for individuals overcoming employment barriers has the power to change lives. We are proud to partner with a like-minded organization making a strong impact on our most vulnerable neighbors.”
Gulfstream Goodwill Industries is also the largest homelessness provider in its five-county region. GGI changes lives through employment, training and housing while assisting people with disabilities and other employment barriers to become self-sufficient, working members of the South Florida community.
Through its partnership with GGI, Many Homes Freedom Project, in conjunction with ECW of Pensacola, Florida, and North American Local, the ACP licensed provider, will be servicing the GGI Communities with tablets and no-cost monthly service through their non-profit partner’s assistance for all those in need. Many Homes Freedom Project will distribute free computer tablets with a one-year warranty for hassle-free replacements to those who qualify. The broadband and data service provided by the ACP will help ensure the program’s connectivity longevity for our recipients. Led by Congressman Brian Mast, Many Homes Project will schedule visits to all GGI locations to personally assist guests, participants and staff with the registration process.
“GGI and Many Homes Freedom Project’s collaboration exemplifies our shared commitment to addressing the digital divide and empowering vulnerable populations,” said CEO of Many Homes Freedom Project Lamont DeVon Artis II. “By equipping individuals with the necessary tools and connectivity, this partnership seeks to foster equal access to education, employment opportunities and essential resources. Once registered, individuals can expect to receive their ordered tablet within 10 days from approval of FCC.”
GGI’s goal is to implement this program across its various facilities, including shelters, Adult Day Training centers, its Career Academy of the Palm Beaches, all 26 retail stores and for staff at their distribution centers in Fort Pierce and Lake Worth. Offering one device per household, the organization estimates a distribution of nearly 650 tablets, with no limit on the number of tablets requested after approval.
Individuals are likely eligible if their household income is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Line or if the individual or someone they live with currently receives a government benefit like SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, Pell Grant, or free and reduced-price lunch.
Many Homes Freedom Project Corp. (MHFPC) provides temporary housing and external resources that help refugees seeking political asylum meet their basic needs. MHFPC gives a hand up to Veterans and those Internally displaced from their homes. For more information, visit homesfreedomproject.com or call 561-664-5481.

There’s a new taco shop in Wellington. It’s a company that began as a popular food truck in Miramar in 2020 and has now grown to five Florida restaurant locations.
Let’s start with the guac and chips. Always a good idea. The guacamole is fresh and delicious. They give you the right amount of chips. I like my chips just plain, not competing with whatever you are dipping them in. These do the trick, unlike chips that have been sprinkled with a combination of spicy seasoning, cinnamon and sugar (as you’ll find at Rocco’s Tacos, for example). Anyway, the guac is fresh with a bit of cilantro, some tomatoes, some citrus and makes you ready for the next course.
The tacos are phenomenal! My friend Tina and I split an order of the birria tacos and chicken tacos. According to the manager Imad, the birria are their most popular choice. Each plate comes with three tacos in a corn tortilla. The birria (shredded beef) tacos come with a consommé sauce to dip into. While the birria tacos were mouth-watering and savory, the chicken tacos (pictured below) were my favorite. They were light, perfectly seasoned, had pickled red onions which really popped, were garnished with cilantro and topped with cheese. And everything is served with limes, so you can squeeze a little lime juice and make the flavor even more intense.
We also ordered a cup of Mexican street corn. Delicious as well, but very rich. They are generous about the serving size with these and honestly, this could be a whole meal in itself. I’m looking forward to eating the leftovers today!
I have to admit, I was in the mood for a margarita when I arrived. It appears that they do not serve any alcoholic beverages. However, the beverages they do serve are interesting and colorful. They serve their own homemade flavors of lemonade in 3 bright colors – mango mint, blue mint and blue raspberry. They also serve authentically Mexican soft drinks in a bottle, like Mexican Coke, which uses real cane sugar, unlike the US version. And they also offer Jarritos in 6 different flavors, a Mexican soft drink – also comes in a glass bottle.
The décor is dark and metallic, including the tables and chairs. When we visited, an entire girls’ softball team was placing their order at the kiosk. And in fact, we got the last indoor table. The ambiance doesn’t exactly say, “Stay awhile” – it’s not ideal. However, the quality of the tacos makes it worth it.
The real question is will I be back? Hell, yes. I already have my next order in mind. Mahi Mahi tacos, another order of chips and guacamole, a guava Jarritos soft drink, and for dessert, cookies and cream churros. And I’ll get another order of Mexican street corn to go.
Located just outside the Wellington Mall near L.A. Fitness, Talkin’ Tacos should definitely be on your radar. Phenomenal tacos await you.
Wellington invites residents and families to attend a FREE Back-to-School “Party in the Park” on Friday, August 4th, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, at the Wellington Amphitheater (12100 Forest Hill Boulevard).
